Blah Blah Blah... Wait, whats going on?

I leave later today on my big huge free hugs road trip, after my mom and sister get back from Kansas City. As I think about all of the thoughts and plans and expectations that I have had over the past two years or so and all of the research that I have done to try and make this happen, its really hard to believe that my departure date has finally come. I have a vague notion of what I want this trip to achieve and what I want to come out from the experience but the truth is, I have no idea what I am going to get away from it. What is going to happen after I run out of the money that I have in 2 months? Will my products sell so that I can survive? What if something crazy bad happens? How trusting should I be of others? There are plenty of good people out there in the world but there are also one's that want to hurt you. I usually trust people until they give me a reason not to.. what If that comes to bite me in the future? Where am I going to park when I am in New York City? (yeah, any help is appreciated on that one.) But as I set off today I try to think about the endless possibilities that could come out of this trip, the different people that I could meet, the friends that I get to visit all over the country, the support of my followers and maybe the creation of an inspirational documentary. This trip is more than just to give away free hugs and brighten others lives, its a trip for me to try and help me find who I am, what I am meant to do in this world, how I fit into the greater picture of the world. It's kinda like going to college, except there is no teacher, your the teacher and the student, teaching yourself through experiences in the real world. I don't know what this trip is going to give me or where exactly I will end up but I do know that it is going to be a transformative year for me and maybe for you, my followers. Thank you for your support and together we will see what this trip has in store for us. See you on the flip side. Hugs, David
